Eagle Scout Project Workbook Tips

 Consider the following when mentoring scouts working on their Eagle Scout Service project. The council Eagle Scout Coordinators offer these tips for completing the Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook some of which you may not have known before.

1. Did you know BSA has a refillable Eagle Scout Project Workbook? It can be printed out to write down the project plans. When done it can then be typed and saved on a computer, then emailed to the Eagle Scout Coordinators to be approved. The only paper that needs to be done separately is the signature page for the approval of the Eagle Scout project. When it comes time to write up the report the scout can return to the one on the computer and complete the report with the help of the copy that the scout has been writing on to make notes while doing the project. 
2. Did you know that the District and Eagle Scout Coordinators read ALL of the project workbook before an Eagle Scout Rank Board of Review? When the workbook is typed everyone can read and clearly understand how the Eagle candidate developed the plan for their project. They can also read how they showed leadership skills while directing their project.
3. Did you know that every Eagle Scout Project that comes to the Crossroads of the West Council for approval will also be submitted for consideration to be a District, Council or National Eagle Scout Project of the Year? 
4. Did you know when a report is requested by teachers, employers, etc. the report is expected to be typed with complete sentences, spell checked and punctuation corrected? The same expectations apply to Eagle Project workbooks.
5. Did you know when repeating the phrase: On My Honor I will do my best means that we try to do our best in everything that is expected of us? This includes filling out the project workbook.
6. Did you know the Eagle Rank in Scouting BSA is the crowning gem of what the scout has learned to help them to be an outstanding citizen of our communities? Scouting has always been a program that helps our youth to be ready to become a responsible adult.
